Me, the DM:
You sure find some potions
.
Monk:
Red ones?
Me:
There sure are some red ones.
Many
kinds.
Monk:
Just a regular healing potion bottle then?
Me:
Not all healing potions come in the same flask! This isn’t Legend of Zelda!
Monk:
Okay I just take one then.
Me, knowing where this is going:

Me, pointedly looking him in the eye:

.
Monk:
Cool I drink it.
Me:
SO I NEED TO BORROW SOME DICE BECAUSE Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT ALCHEMIST’S FIRE I MENTIONED EARLIER???
